On September 24, in the green belt of the office area of the county Rong Media Center, the sprayer spewed out a long dragon, and the air was filled with a strong smell of drugs, and an "insecticidal operation" was in full swing.
Recently, the county Rong Media Center found that in the green belt of the central office area, a large number of "caterpillars" climbed on the banyan tree, endangering the safety of plants in the green belt, and after reflecting the request for help to the county forestry and grassland bureau, the person in charge of the state-owned forest farm and seedling management unit of the county forestry and grassland bureau led the quarantine staff to the scene, carried out on-the-spot investigation, guided prevention and control, analyzed and studied the relevant situation of the "caterpillar", and determined the relevant measures for disease and pest prevention and control technology on the spot.
According to the identification of quarantine staff, the "caterpillar" is called the vermilion spotted moth, which is an insect of the Lepidoptera spotted moth family. Body length 13-13.5 mm. The head and chest are red, the abdomen is black, and there are long red hairs on the sides. The wings are red with 1 large dark blue spot on the hip area. The ovoids are oblate oval, 1.4–1.6 mm long, pale yellow. Distributed in Guangdong, Yunnan and other provinces. It is a fig tree that harms banyan trees, alpine figs, figs, ficus flowers, indian rubber figs, green figs, beautiful pillow figs, bodhi figs and other figs. Larvae eat leaves as a pest, and when a large occurrence occurs, the leaves of trees can be eaten, which seriously affects the urban landscape.
Quarantine staff use special vehicles for spraying operations, sprayers, etc. to scientifically control forestry pests such as "caterpillars" in green areas, so as to achieve full coverage of all "caterpillar" plants and effectively avoid the spread and spread of diseases and insect pests. At the same time, warning signs are set up to remind nearby personnel that pesticides have been sprayed in the green area and pay attention to safety.
